Sartorial

2010
Savile Row in a bottle — beeswax, wool, and lavender composing a fougere that smells like the act of making rather than the finished product. Craft as fragrance.

Thematic Territory

A Savile Row fitting room. Bolts of wool, beeswax on thread, the iron's steam — the smell of craft before the suit is worn. Fougere as architecture.

Era & Context

Modern

Created in collaboration with Norton & Sons of Savile Row, capturing the sensory world of bespoke tailoring. Part of a broader 2010s trend of 'craft narrative' fragrances, but grounded in a real place and real materials rather than abstract storytelling.
